It had been a long and tiresome day. All Yuu wanted to do was get home and sleep. Mino had already told him that he would be late, so that left Yuu alone with his parents and Yamato. He didn't mind since they were all nice, but at the same time it felt a little uncomfortable being around Mr. Kanade who was unaware of his son's love life.

Making his way towards the apartment he could hear the sound of the TV. Opening the door and entering inside, Yuu noticed that Mrs. Kanade's shoes were the only ones near the doorway. "I'm home," he said as he took off his shoes and walked further into the apartment.

"Yuu-chan! Welcome home! I already made dinner, so please feel free to eat!" Mrs. Kanade said while she finished setting up the table.

"Where are Mr. Kanade and Yamato?"

"Yamato wanted to buy some ice cream so my husband took him to the corner store. They should be back soon. Ah, also, Yamato came across all of your "The Kan" manga and started reading them. I hope you don't mind. He's a big fan of Ijuuin-sensei."

"No, it's fine. I'm actually going to be working with Ijuuin-sensei soon."

"Is that so? Oh please get an autograph for Yamato!"

"I definitely will."

Yuu walked over to the fridge and took out some orange juice. He started to rub his stomach which Mrs. Kanade noticed. "How is everything going with the baby? When did you say your next check up was?"

"Everything's fine. My next check up is coming up soon."

"Have you been feeling more exhausted lately? I can tell you look tired."

"I'm a little tired, but it comes with my job. Don't worry Mrs. Kanade, I'm making sure my health is in check."

"My husband used to give me massages every day when I was pregnant with Mino. If you want I can do that same for you. It really does help relieve some of the stress."

"I'd like that, thank you," Yuu replied with a smile. The two calmly walked over to the couch where Yuu took off his shirt. He felt a little embarrassed to show his growing stomach to someone other than Mino, but knowing how nice Mino's mom was seemed to make him feel less self conscious. Mrs. Kanade gently placed her hands on Yuu's stomach and smiled widely. Her grandchild was slowly growing inside of Yuu and after a few more months they would welcome a new member to their family.

Her smile relaxed Yuu's mind. They were so absorbed within the moment of thinking about the baby that they didn't hear the door open and Yamato and Mr. Kanade walk inside. "Yanase…?"

Yuu and Mrs. Kanade both snapped out of their trance and looked over at a dumbfounded Mr. Kanade and confused looking Yamato. "Why is Yuu fat?" Yamato asked as he examined Yuu's stomach.

"Yamato, sweetie, Yuu isn't fat."

"Honey, why were you rubbing Yanase's stomach so affectionately?" Mr. Kanade asked, still not sure how to take the situation.

"Mr. Kanade, I…!"

"Yuu-chan!" Yuu looked over at Mino who dashed passed Mr. Kanade and towards him. Mino gently placed his hand on Yuu's stomach while his other hand made its way on Yuu's forehead. "Do you feel okay? Is the baby okay?"

"Baby?" Mr. Kanade said, "What are you talking about Mino?"

Mino looked over at his dad and sighed, "Dad, Yuu isn't my roommate. He's my lover…and he's expecting our baby."

"W-WHAT?! Is this why you ended up getting a divorce?! Because you were gay all along!"

"That's not it! I did love her, but you know it just wasn't working between us!"

"And what is this about a baby? Yanase is a man! He can't have a baby!"

"Honey, Yuu-chan is pregnant. I've seen the sonograms. Yuu is one of the rare men that can get pregnant. He's carrying our grandchild!" Mrs. Kanade said, trying to get through to her husband.

"So…There's going to be a baby?" Yamato asked, not fully aware of the tense atmosphere. He walked over to Yuu and placed his hand on his stomach. "Ah! I think I felt something! Is it a girl or a boy?!"

"We don't know yet Yamato," Mino replied.

"Well when you do let me know!"

Yuu smiled and nodded. He looked back at Mr. Kanade who was looking down in deep thought. Yuu stood up from the couch and looked directly at the man. "Mr. Kanade…Please don't let this get in between you and Mino. I really love Mino and I'm looking forward to having a family with him. If you can't accept it, I understand, but please, don't let it out on Mino or the baby."

Mino grabbed onto Yuu's hand and gently squeezed it. Mr. Kanade noticed their hands as he then looked at Yuu. "Yanase…It might take me a little time, but I have nothing against you. Just give me a little time to let this all sink in."

"Yes sir."

Mr. Kanade turned around and walked off. Everyone heard the front door open and then close shut a few minutes later. Mino embraced Yuu into a tight hug, not wanting to let him go after what had just happened. All they could do was hope for the best.

The next morning Yuu had woken up to an empty bed. He already knew Mino had to leave early to attend a meeting. Sighing Yuu decided it was best to get up and start getting ready for the day. He only hoped things wouldn't be awkward between him and Mr. Kanade. Getting up, Yuu walked out of the room and towards the kitchen. He quickly noticed Mr. Kanade sitting alone at the table with a mug of coffee in front of him. He slowly looked up and made eye contact with Yuu.

"Good morning Mr. Kanade."

"Good morning Yanase."

"Are Mrs. Kanade and Yamato still sleeping?"

"No, they went out. It's actually a good time for us to talk. Please sit down." Yuu walked over to the table and sat down across from him. He wasn't sure how to feel about the situation, but he only hoped it wouldn't lead to an argument. "Yanase…After Mino's divorce, he wasn't himself. He buried himself in work every day and hardly called home. Later on he seemed to be fine again, but he still seemed hurt and lost. I'm assuming it was a past lover he must have had before you."

"It must have been when he was dating Abe," Yuu replied.

"That's the name. Anyway, he seemed to be back to his old self a little later. It must have been because he was with you. I remember hearing my wife talking to him and listening to her laugh and saying she was glad he was so happy…You're his happiness Yanase, and I can't thank you enough for bringing light into my son's life again. Yamato also seems to be very fond of you."

"Mino really cares about him, like he was his own son. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make sure Mino is happy."

Mr. Kanade smiled, "Thank you. Let me get you a cup of coffee."

"Thank you."

Mr. Kanade got up and walked over to the kitchen. Yuu looked down at his stomach and started to rub it with a smile on his face. It looked like things were going to be okay within the Kanade family.
